Malachi 1:1-14 "Rightly Responding To The Love Of God"

Outside of the 1st Vs, there's very little known about this particular prophet. In Vs 1
he answers "from whom" (the Lord), "to whom" (Israel) & "through whom", (Malachi").
We really don't know anything else about him. Truth be told (however), of greater
importance than the man, is the message that he brings. & It seems to me that Malachi was
much more concerned w/being faithful than he was being famous. It doesn't really matter
where he lived, which family or tribe he came from, if he had previously been serving as a
priest… Those things we may find interesting, but they're not at all essential. What's
important is, "What does God have to say?" Amen? The name "Malachi" actually means,
"my Messenger" & it's quite a message he brings indeed.
